I have had mixed results with the .vdx Visio XML standard.
It is functional enough for basic files, but OmniGraffle masters are
lost, so if multiple masters are important to your file, you have to
save those out separate and bring them back in to Visio one by one.
Visio -> OnmiG is of course much easier.
Some people who have made stencils do so for both Onmi and Visio, but
for now that is best you can do
I wouldnt hold my breath waiting for Visio to play nice with other
file formats.

OmniGraffle 5 beautifully opened a Visio file for me the other day.
Saved me
15 minutes of spinning up Parallels and MS Visio. Graffle also saves
in
Visio .xml format. Obviously, not a perfect solution, but it does
address
some cross-platform headaches.
That said, I've never experimented with moving masters/stencils
between
them.
On the other hand, at EightShapes (my company) we wireframe in Adobe
InDesign, which is automatically cross-platform.

After observing the list for a while, it's clear that our community
is
split
between Visio users on PCs and Omnigraffle users on Macs. Is there a
format
common to both Visio and Omnigraffle with which we can publish
stencils,
templates, etc. so we don't have to duplicate our efforts?
Alternatively,
are there simple converters between the two formats?
